I just want to be happy Like everyone else, and not be so short tempered, I have tried really I have but I just have a lack of interest in everything, and maybe Im thinking that picking fights is the only way to feel emotions? I dont know?

> Irritability is very common with depression. When I'm experiencing dysphoric manic-mixed type symptoms it is like I care TOO much about everything (everything becomes a major big deal and everybody is screwing everything up). When I'm depressed I experience something very similar to what you describe.. a feeling of apathy about everything and everybody, and a tendency to be snappy and hostile. I don't feel that I'm trying to do it to provide stimulation, it is more like I don't have any *tolerance* for other people caring and being concerned with things that I am currently totally disinterested in and it makes me mad. I don't know if that makes any sense or not, but that is what it seems like. Are you being treated for bipolar/unipolar depression?No I have anxiety, But have always kinda been known for my moods, I dont particularly feel in a mood its just other peoples reactions to me, I always get the 'your so moody'. I just feel very uninterested and glum!
